July's
Color Palette Challenge is based on a Picasso painting:
I'm not the world's biggest fan of blue, but this deep cobalt is appealing. I decided to make a mini-quilt based on the
Metropolis Quilt from
Elizabeth Hartman's book
Modern Patchwork. This is made from nine strips, which only took a few minutes to cut:

| "Woven Tic Tac Toe" (19.5 x 19.5), from "Metropolis" pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. |
Sew, slash, sew, repeat...fast, easy, and a great woven effect! Both of my boys saw this and said, "Wow, I love that pattern!" (but then hedged their enthusiasm with "of course I hate the colors"). They did agree, however, that the colors matched the printed photo of the painting. I did a nice tight square meander, a scrappy binding, and voilà! Done in one evening, and with two full weeks left in July!

DeleteI like how the pink is woven in differently than the others on that blue blue strip. Now on to August colors. Sandi

DeleteI love how your challenge quilt turned out. Isn't is amazing what that little bit of pink does for the whole palette?
ReplyDeleteThanks -- that pink really does "sell it" for me.
